Internet Engineering Task Force The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is the protocol engineering and development arm of the Internet. The IETF is a large open international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet. It is open to any interested individual.
The actual technical work of the IETF is done in its working groups, which are organized by topic into several areas (e.g., routing, network management, security, etc.). Much of the work is handled via mailing lists, however, the IETF also holds meetings three times per year. Chairs and presenters might find it helpful to read the instructions for sessions and plenaries. First-time attendees might find it helpful to read The Tao of IETF .
The IETF itself is the subject of research efforts. One such researcher is Elaine Hyder who attends IETF meetings and made arrangements with, and received approval from, the IESG to conduct interviews and distribute questionnaires at IETF meetings.
